| The line is actually "we keep axes in the attic." I'm a New Orleans native and I know a lot of people who keep an ax in their attic in case of rising water. People take refuge in the attic and then if the water keeps rising they get trapped. Folks are advised to keep an ax in the attic so they can break through the roof. Except when Katrina hit, those who broke through their roofs saw only the "cameras in the sky" on news helicopters and still had to wait for rescue. | |

| The line is not "we keep actions in the attic" but "we keep axes in the attic." This is quite literal. Many people in New Orleans keep an ax in the attic in case the water rises that high. People take refuge in the attic and then get trapped as the water rises. (New Orleans native.) | |
